Sweet Photo

Thank you to supermom Kristin for this sweet, sweet photo. ❤️❤️❤️

Each Tiny Spark

Middle Grade Literature fans... READ THIS. It’s so well done and so important on so many fronts. 📚❤️ Thank you, @phcartaya for a lovely read.

Math?

Sent to me by my 14yo kid. 🤗 This sort of sums up (Ha! No pun!) my own memories of high school math.

Bay Area Children's Theater

I had the most amazing (and surreal!) time watching my book-turned-children’s-theater-musical and signing for the fans! Thank you, @bactheatre for the privilege and honor. You did a beautiful job! 🚧 🏗 ❤️

We Made the Today Shows List!

We made the Today Show’s list!!! (Not sure about Kid McGear being for one-year-olds, necessarily, but, hey — I’m taking it!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️) So many wonderful books on this list. #honored #blessed

Yikes!

NOT a mouse 🐁, it’s just a dried leaf — so you’ll feel pretty stupid if you scream. 😲 Just, you know, in case you would do that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks!

Thank you, Amazon editors, for including Kid McGear on this list! 🥰 🚧 It’s an honor to have my title sit alongside so many wonderful books (many of whom have been written/illustrated by my friends! 😊). ❤️ #honored #blessed

Yummy

Baking this morning, at my 14yo’s request: lattice apple coffee cake. 🍎🍁👩🏻‍🍳 A good way to start a cold, snowy day.

Biggest Little Fans!

Some of my biggest little fans in Austin, Texas, enjoying their new board books! 🥰📚 Thanks, Denna, for sending this sweet photo!

Skid Steer

For everyone that has asked me, “What the heck would YOU do with a skid steer?!” — Well, here you go: Christmas shopping! 😉😂

Fun

Thank you, Duluth Trading Company. 😘❤️ PS: I spent $80 on a pair of gardening overalls from your catalog last spring. I LOVE (!) the overalls, but I cringed a little at the price. Now, I might just be needing another pair! 😉🤗 👩🏻‍🌾

Thankful!

When THREE of your books are on Amazon’s top 500.

Thank You!

BIG THANKS to @dozer_steve for this awesome shout-out for my latest book! 🚧 If you or your kids LOVE trucks, you HAVE TO follow his Insta page featuring all sorts of cool heavy equipment videos and pics (which, of course, I do). #ilovetrucks

Construction Site on Christmas Night....a play!

When your book becomes a play...! 🥰

Have a Great Day

Have a great day, friends. ❤️

Too Much Hype?

There’s been so much hype, we HAD to try it, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I will say, it’s a pretty tasty sandwich. 👍🏻

Beautiful Illustrations

My friend, author-illustrator Lita Judge posted this work-in-progress. ❤️ 🎨
I am so blessed to have so many wonderful, inspiring, talented people in my feed. It’s such an honor to see these artists at work.

Thank You to Harvey's Tales Book Shop

Thank you, Harvey’s Tales Bookstore, for a lovely visit! ❤️📚 And, if you’re ever in Geneva, Illinois, you HAVE to check out this store!!! I’ve seen a LOT of bookstores in my life, and this is one of the most GORGEOUS! 😍
